Designing, Measuring, and Controlling Molecular and Supramolecular Devices Paul S. Weiss, <http://www.cnsi.ucla.edu/>California NanoSystems Institute and Departments of Chemistry & Biochemistry and Materials Science & Engineering, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA We use molecular design, tailored syntheses, intermolecular interactions, and selective chemistry to direct molecules into desired positions to create nanostructures, to connect functional molecules to the outside world, and to serve as test structures for measuring single or bundled molecules.

Functionalizing Surfaces for Efficient Solar Energy Conversion

Lanthanide Hydride Reduction Chemistry Including New Routes to Lanthanide Metallocene Dinitrogen Complexes

Lanthanide Hydride Reduction Chemistry Including New Routes to Lanthanide Metallocene Dinitrogen Complexes Speaker: Benjamin M. Schmiege University of California, Irvine Abstract: Although the lanthanides have many applications in polymerization catalysts, strong magnets, petroleum refining catalysts, optical lenses and light-emitting diodes, their chemistry remains underdeveloped.

Novel Cross-Linking Reagents for Efficient Detection of Cross-Linked Peptides by Mass Spectrometry

Peptide Self-Assembly: From Pathological Amyloid to Engineered Biomaterials

Peptide Self-Assembly: Pathological Amyloid to Engineered Biomaterials The self-assembly of peptides and proteins into cross-β amyloid structures is a defining characteristic of amyloid pathologies including Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, type 2 diabetes, and prion encephalopathies. Amyloid protein assemblies are not limited to pathological conditions, but also exist as evolutionarily conserved motifs with defined biological function.
